List of Spices That End With R

Aleppo Pepper

Capsicum annuum

A coarsely crushed Syrian-Turkish chili with a soft fruity heat and salt-oil sheen — the finishing flake of choice for kebabs, hummus, and labneh.

2

Black Pepper

Piper nigrum

The dried unripe fruit of Piper nigrum — the "king of spices" whose pungent heat shaped global trade routes and now sits on nearly every dinner table.

3

Espelette Pepper

Capsicum annuum

A mild Basque chili from a single French village — a fruity, gentle alternative to black pepper at every Basque table.

4

Ginger

Zingiber officinale

The knobby rhizome of a tropical perennial — fresh, dried, or candied, it brings warmth and bright heat to countless cuisines.

5

Long Pepper

Piper longum

A cone-shaped catkin of fused tiny fruits with the heat of pepper and a sweeter, more complex aromatic warmth — once Europe's favorite spice, now a rarity.

6

Sichuan Pepper

Zanthoxylum bungeanum

The husks of a prickly ash berry whose alkamide molecules produce a tingling, electric numbness on the lips — the *ma* in Sichuan's signature *mala*.

7

White Pepper

Piper nigrum

Fully ripe peppercorns with the dark husk removed — softer, earthier, and prized in pale sauces where black flecks would distract.
